Human reproduction is regulated by Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH), also termed gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). It is produced by hypothalamic neurons, secreted in a pulsatile manner into the capillary plexus of the median eminence and effects the release of luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone from gonadotropic cells in the anterior pituitary. The peptide may also influences other activities including behavioral ones, as LHRH or LHRH-like immunoreactivity has been found in gonadal tissue, placenta and the central nervous system, and exogenously administered LHRH is shown to affect behavior. LHRH gene (chromosome 8q21) code for a protein of 92 amino acids (rat 92 aa and mouse 90 aa) in which the LHRH decapeptide is preceded by a signal peptide of 23 amino acids and followed by a Gly-Lys-Arg sequence, as expected for enzymatic cleavage of the decapeptide from its precursor and amidation of the carboxy-terminal of LHRH. In addition to the LHRH decapeptide, the prohormone contains a 56-amino acid peptide sequence which has been designated gonadotropin-releasing hormone associated peptide (GAP).
